Spielberg's forgotten masterpiece. Christian Bale carried the film from start to finish. I still have a soft spot in my heart for him.

Empire of the Sun may be the least regarded by the public of Spielberg's WW2 cycle but I'm not sure if it isn't quietly the best. And the is probably the best child performance committed to film. Bale isn't just saying the lines he's performing at an adult level. I made a point of remembering Bale's name back in the day after seeing this and well, here we are.

I love that the old veteran Colonel knows exactly why Jamie hands him the milk. All the uniforms tell us something but none of them say a word, however we know immediately when the camera zooms in on the man's face exactly who these men are. It's like Spielberg told the casting director to "find me a man with a face that screams career American officer for this kid to surrender to". Even the shot from behind and to the right of the man is perfect. You see the sidearm, and you barely see "U.S." on the holster.

'Jim, didn't I teach you anything?' 'Yes, You taught me that people will do anything for a potato.' Such a great movie, never understood why Empire of the Sun didn't get more acclaim and awards for Steven Spielberg , maybe because it came in the first half pre Schindler's List portion of his career when he was dismissed as 'just a fantasy/Sci-fi Director' - and as many times times as I have seen this movie I would never guess that Christian Bale played Jim, but I guess that helped him later on to avoid the Child actor type casting and get good roles as an adult actor.

Agreed, The hershey bar implies that Basie and Jim parted ways (at least somewhat) on good terms. Basie seems to finally have some respect for Jim when Jim refuses his offer to go with them. Throughout the movie, Jim came running to Basie for help and protection while Basie manipulated Jim and lied to him. The final straw came when Basie showed a lack of remorse for the death of his Japanese friend. Jim finally realized he can fend for himself and sees Basie for who he is

As a kid when i first saw this there had been so much tension and sadness built up in the film that even though Jim was laughing it seemed a bit maniacal and that of a crazy person. Going in circles and circles laughing, desperately trying to act like a boy again and then for a split second you see the quintessential American troops breaking through the dizziness. And Jim surrenders.

Liberation at last and the end of suffering.
